The Official Audio Taping Policy
Martin Sexton - Taping Policy Recording Audience taping is permitted at Martin Sexton shows. When Martin Sexton is performing at a festival or other event featuring multiple bands, that particular event's policy may override Martin Sexton's customary taping policy. When Martin Sexton is opening for another artist, that particular artist's policy may override the customary taping policy. All taping is limited to audience only. NO SOUNDBOARD PATCHES ARE EVER ALLOWED. NO VIDEO OR PHOTOGRAPHY IS EVER ALLOWED. The enjoyment of the audience in attendance at a concert always takes precedence over recording efforts. This means that at no time should tapers ever require other patrons to be quiet or otherwise interfere with their enjoyment of the show. As always, a good rule of thumb is to ASK THE VENUE FIRST if they allow taping. Some venues prohibit ALL taping, regardless of the performer/artist taping policy. Duplication All participants in audio recording exchange (regardless of format) acknowledge and respect the copyrights and exclusive ownership of the music and performances by the performers, writers and publishers. All taping must be for personal use only, which may include trading (via analog or digital tape, CD, or digital file transfer). Recordings may be traded only for an equivalent amount of similar media (cassettes or CDs, pre-recorded or blank). If we have chosen to offer for sale (via physical media such as CD, Cassette, or via digital download) a particular Martin Sexton performance, this "official" version will take precedence over amateur recordings and said performance should no longer be traded. In no case may any officially-released Martin Sexton recording (live or studio) be duplicated or otherwise traded or offered. Audience taping at Martin Sexton concerts is authorized for non-commercial purposes only. Unauthorized sale, duplication and/or distribution is strictly forbidden. All Martin Sexton performances and recordings are the exclusive property of Martin Sexton. All rights reserved. The rights to record Martin Sexton performances set forth in this policy constitute an express, revocable license. We reserve the right to withdraw our sanction of recording, tape trading, and/or non-commercial digital audio file transfers on a case specific basis or in general, as we deem necessary. No waiver of any copyright or trademark right is intended. If you are aware of any person or site in violation of this policy, please inform us. Thank you.
